There have been some updates to my new "secondary story" Good Girl Gone Bad; however, I still haven't had much time to sit and work on the Primary story.
Part of that is due to the recent release of Fallout 4, LOL...I've been addicted to the game since release, even taking a a day off work to play, hehehe. I've played all the Fallout series, so this was a long awaited release ;) But as such, both my graphics and writings have suffered...so hopefully once the addiction wears down a little I'll be back to writing.
I still take a few breaks here and there and jot down some of the secondary story, but again, those are only 10-30 minute breaks where sinking into a long plot line are not conducive...by the time I get into the swing of things, my "break" is over. But soon...the holidays are upon us so that means more alone time for me, as working in retail, my son will be working LOL!

November Dropbox Permissions (Patreon) set and Update
First, I want to thank ALL of you for your patronage! Whether you support me through Patreon or even by coming to this site and checking on updates and making comments or e-mails, I do appreciate it. It's been a
rough month story-wise due to my system crashing, but I am finally back
up and running.
I have set the permissions for the Dropbox folders for Patreon patrons. As I've mentioned in the past, it is easier to remove the shares and then re-add them than to edit them person-by-person, so I apologize for the Dropbox e-mail spam you'll be getting.
Everybody should have the correct permissions based upon what Patreon states you pledged and were charged for this month. There were three people who's payments were declined, so I put them as Tier 1 people until that is resolved.
There should be some newness in terms of the SECONDARY story, and now that things are finally back up and running, I plan on working on the PRIMARY story starting today (Monday). It's been a rough couple weeks and this weekend I had too many errands to get much done, but now that things are somewhat normal in terms of the computer, I can once more get into the swing of things!

New computer has arrived!
New computer arrived at my mother's Friday, and God Bless her, she sent it overnight and arrived Saturday morning at 10am!
I've been spending both days installing everything back on to it. I still have a ways to go, but I now have Office 2013 installed as well as Daz Studio. Got most of my highly used applications installed, but have spending an inordinate amount of time getting them back to where I want, LOL. A lot of it are tweaks I've done over time and it's taking forever to figure some of them out ;)
By next weekend I should be all set and putting the nose to the grindstone!

New computer shipped!
Received an e-mail stating the computer shipped Thursday! It should arrive at my mother's Friday (they would only ship to the billing address) and the plan is for her to ship it immediately to me. I could very well have it this weekend and start reinstalling everything...so I should be back in business soon!
I appreciate everybody's patience (including my own, LOL) during this lull period. Having no system and my entire routine turned upside down was more than stressful...and I particularly appreciate all the Patreon patrons for their patience and continued support. THANK YOU EVERYBODY!

Update 10/18/2105...
So the bottom line with my computer is it is either the CPU or the motherboard is fried. Either way, it pretty much means a new computer. I've been meaning to upgrade my video cards--that's actually one of the goals of my Patreon page. However, that being said, all the money will now be going towards a new system.
Pricing out what I want, which is not high end but is better than what I had in order to do my 3D graphics, I'm looking around $2500. I don't HAVE that much money right now, hehehe, so it may take up through next year to get it, but that's my new goal. I'll be changing my Patreon page to that particular goal as well.
I spent all day Saturday trying to get my computer working, and after swapping out memory, power supplies, video cards, etc., I was able to narrow it down to either the CPU or motherboard. Not sure exactly how I FUBAR'd up, but something didn't go back the way it was when I started cleanings things up last week, and now I'm paying for it. It's nothing I haven't done a 1000 times before, but this was why I stopped building my own systems, I troubleshoot servers and people's computers all week, the last thing I want to do is work on my own :(
I'm running off my laptop now. I've moved it and connected my monitor, mouse, and keyboard in my home office, so things at least 'feel' close to normal. The screen is a bit fuzzy due to a craptastic video card, but it can't be helped. At least I'll be able to start writing once again. And now that I'm back connected to my network, I can get back to things.
One that front, I woke up Friday morning at 2 am with an idea, and sat down and wrote until it was time for work, so there will be a new story hitting the "Secondary Story" slot replacing "What's in a Name." Again, the secondary story is something I'll dabble with when I only have an hour or less to write, but lately that seems to be the way things have been, so the secondary story has gotten quite a bit of attention.
This new story still needs a title, but currently the working title is "Good Girl Gone Bad." It's about a couple who's been together for 5 years and start to realize things are becoming too mundane in their relationship. They plan on moving in together to try and spice up their life, and while moving, the boyfriend starts to have fantasies about his girlfriend fooling around with other men. Surprised at his reaction, and turned on by it herself, she teases his friends who are helping him move, one of which is a jock type (sort of a young Mr. DeWight, hehehe).
I've almost been tempted to make this an "early Lapdancing Girlfriend" story, but right now it's a separate story standing on its own merit. Time will tell what I do with it. If I DO make this sort of an "early Lapdancing" story, I'll have to change things around a bit for both this and Lapdancing Girlfriend so they synch up better...but again, that's only a remote possibility.
Anyways, that's what's going on this week. Now that things are somewhat back to normal, my plan is to focus on Lifeguard again and try to get it down by Thanksgiving. We'll see how work and real life go...but since 3D graphics are now out of the picture (no pun intended) for a bit, all I have is the writing...
